Development of New SSR Markers for High-Throughput Analyses of Peach-Potato Aphid (<i>Myzus persicae</i> Sulzer).

ABSTRACT: The complex life cycle, high reproductive potential and ability to quickly develop resistance to insecticides are key factors contributing to the destructiveness of the peach-potato aphid (Myzus persicae Sulzer) among pest species. Monitoring its population dynamics at a large scale allows us to better understand M. persicae biology and take relevant measures for pest management. For this purpose, reliable molecular tools are needed. Based on the analysis of 128,362 microsatellite loci, we developed four multiplex assays including 49 comprehensively characterised SSR markers. Internal validation confirmed the species specificity and low genotyping error (e_a = 0.8%, e_l = 0.99%, e_obs = 22.7%) of the assays. A total of 194 al
